The penultimate episode of The Socially Distanced Podcast’s “WandaDistanced” mini-series looks at the penultimate episode of the Disney+ series WandaVision entitled, ‘Previously On.’
Hosts Al Mannarino and Bill Bodkin are joined by resident guests of the WandaDistanced series — Pop Break Music Editor Kat Manos and Cole Rothacker — along with special guest, Rob Crowther IV, senior editor on Pop Break and the host of The Bob Culture Podcast.
In the episode they discuss ‘Previously On’ and its balance of exposition dump and exploration of trauma. They look at Wanda’s future and how turning her “bad” or “Phoenix-like” at the end of the series might not be a good idea. They also follow the breadcrumbs of potential big reveals for the finale as well as the fate of Agatha, Vision, Monica, the kids and Wanda.
